Totem won't play any video, despite of working GStreamer

Hi,
I have a problem with Totem, that I can't solve, because the program won't give any useful output. Below is the list of relevant, installed packages:

 pacman -Qs totem
local/totem 3.12.1-2 (gnome)
    GNOME3 movie player based on GStreamer
local/totem-plparser 3.10.2-1
    Totem playlist parser library

~ pacman -Qs gstreamer
local/clutter-gst 2.0.12-1
    GStreamer bindings for clutter
local/gnome-video-effects 0.4.1-1
    A collection of GStreamer effects
local/gst-libav 1.4.1-1
    Gstreamer libav Plugin
local/gst-plugins-bad 1.4.1-1
    GStreamer Multimedia Framework Bad Plugins
local/gst-plugins-base 1.4.1-1
    GStreamer Multimedia Framework Base Plugins
local/gst-plugins-base-libs 1.4.1-1
    GStreamer Multimedia Framework Base Plugin libraries
local/gst-plugins-good 1.4.1-1
    GStreamer Multimedia Framework Good Plugins
local/gst-plugins-ugly 1.4.1-1
    GStreamer Multimedia Framework Ugly Plugins
local/gst-vaapi 0.5.9-1
    GStreamer Multimedia Framework VA Plugins
local/gstreamer 1.4.1-1
    GStreamer Multimedia Framework
local/totem 3.12.1-2 (gnome)
    GNOME3 movie player based on GStreamer

~ pacman -Qs libva 
local/libva 1.3.1-2
    Video Acceleration (VA) API for Linux
local/libva-intel-driver 1.3.2-1
    VA-API implementation for Intel G45 and HD Graphics family

Now, whenever I play h264 file with Totem, all I get is white screen:
rEdB0NXl.png
and following output in terminal:

run/media/piotr/luggage totem 0001.mp4
libva info: VA-API version 0.35.1
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_0_35
libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0
/run/media/piotr/luggage

I can't see anything wrong here. The strange part is, that the same video plays correctly with gst-launch-1.0 playbin:

/run/media/piotr/luggage gst-launch-1.0 playbin uri=file:///run/media/piotr/luggage/0001.mp4
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is PREROLLING ...
libva info: VA-API version 0.35.1

libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_0_35
libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0
Got context from element 'vaapidecode0': gst.vaapi.Display=context, display=(GstVaapiDisplay)NULL;
Pipeline is PREROLLED ...
Setting pipeline to PLAYING ...
New clock: GstPulseSinkClock

How can I determine, where lays the problem?

Re: Totem won't play any video, despite of working GStreamer

Problem got resolved by removing gst-vaapi, which is not really satisfactory, since I'd prefer to use hardware decoding. Is there any option, to make Totem's console output more verbose?

Re: Totem won't play any video, despite of working GStreamer

 I do not see any verbose switches on the man pages on the net, but just try '-vvvv' or '--verbose', maybe it is not documented. Strace might be a bit excessive, but might help define your problem more precisely. Search for the i965_drv_video.so in combination with h264, totem and such. Could have anything to do with acceleration methods in X, since intel is involved?

Re: Totem won't play any video, despite of working GStreamer

To my understanding, there is a bug with Totem. Relevant bugs and threads:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=674083
http://gstreamer-devel.966125.n4.nabble … 55188.html
https://bugs.launchpad.net/totem/+bug/997370
which only confirms, that Totem for the long time has been and still is... a poopoo. Sigh :-/

Re: Totem won't play any video, despite of working GStreamer

 Why do you use Totem? Is there a special feature other players do not have? I recommend trying out mpv. Try GST_DEBUG variable for more verbose output.

Re: Totem won't play any video, despite of working GStreamer

Well, I use mpv and it's great. But beacuse Totem integrates with GNOME so nicely, I thought, I would use it from time to time.

With GST_DEBUG=1 and gst-vaapi installed, there is something informative:

/run/media/piotr/luggage totem 0001.mp4
libva info: VA-API version 0.35.1
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so

And with GST_DEBUG=3:

/run/media/piotr/luggage

On higher levels output gets really long and I don't know, if it useful.
